I was once up against one from rolling at about 15 mph.
I was in my old 96 WRX running 313 bhp.Now i'm assuming we where both in second gear here but we both nailed it at the same time as i heard his engine note change as mine did.Upto about the top end of 3rd gear i was edging ahead of him but by the end of 4th i was well away.I was very impressed by it in the first instance because if he had 300 it would have been a different story i'm sure. BUT i'd still have a Focus ST :) |

Subaru currently manufacture three models that would dismiss any other standard 'hot hatch' in the straight line dash to 100mph or in a point to point over a B road and by a country mile. Technology has moved on since the Subarus of the 1990s.

Which 3?
Make that four now that the WRX is supplied with PPP added for free giving it 193 BHP per ton. |
my mate has a vxr nurburb and he keeps up with me, good cars but as said in the wet they just wheel spin
ive an AVO aftermartket tmic for sale if your intrested direct bolt on pm me if intrested |
Ten years on, with out any engine mods/map & running on UK fuel your probably running under 276bhp I would imagine.

hello people...i was up against a vxr last night and was shocked how he completley bumed me!!! cant not belive the proformance of them things!!...is this usual for a vxr to eat a standard sti type r or has he got a few secrets under the bonnet???:wonder:
i have destroyed many astra vxr's even when my type r was standard so your type r has either lost a lot of power or the vxr has gained a lot of power |
Im no expert but i would have thought the type r would have won fairly easily. Well maybe not easily but noticiblty.

My old Type R was a lot quicker than the VXR's in all area's.
Type R's are approximately 4.5 seconds to 60, surely not VXR should be close to that?! |

It's not wishful thinking, just plain fact. Subaru currently make four hatch models that would leave a standard VXR for dead. Even the slowest of them beats the Vauxhall to 100 mph by around 2 secs and a point to point on a B road would be no contest. Either the Type R in question is not the car that it was or the VXR has been modified, making it even more unpleasant to handle. |
i encounterd, one a couple of years ago, in my 93 wrx, the vxr seemed very quick but once i passed him, i pulled around 3 car lengths on him.. .so I think it will of been fettled, Also I have driven 2 vxr's and although quick i didnt think there was anything more performace wise over any imprezas. Just my opinion of course
|
i used to have a e36 328is modded to produce 235 bhp and raced my friend out of work in his vxr everyday and there was nothing in it if i was infront he could keep up but not get past and if he was infront i could keep up but not get past anyway i sold the beemer to get something a lot quicker a sti type r v5

Ah, love it!
My cars faster than yours argument. Both the VXR and scoob of various guises are good fast point to point cars, it has a lot to do with driver, and state of tune more than anything. I have played with VXR's on the road, but my car is almost 300kg lighter, and 100bhp over a standard VXR, not to mention all the suspension mods, so it wouldn't be fair to claim VRX's are slow based on my experiences. One day i'll meet a tuned up one, and get my arse handed to me!! |

Swings and roundabouts fella - both sides laying down some comments here that are heavily biased. I wouldn't say it was just the VXR boys who have blinkers on :eek:

I had a race with one about 6 weeks ago, both rolling at 40 I dropped into 2nd and we both floored it and honestly he wasn't that much quicker, over the lenth of maybe half a mile he pulled 4 maybe 5 car lengths ahead and thats it.
Came to the twisties and I was all over his bumper like poo to a blanket. Saying that unless I was high up the revs he was gone like a bullet and I was left for dry. Kinda thought wow they are rapid and I need alot more power, like 350+bhp!!! |

I'd love to have a play with one, but on a public road its more about risk and who cares about his car, the public, and his license the least:nono: Aaron:thumb: |
ive got both a vxr and a scooby and when r lass and i have a play the vxr certainly keeps up !! the vxr is quick in a straight line but scares you round the twisties wouldnt like to think of having 300 gee gees under its bonnet lol i feel more safer with 300 and awd lol both good cars though!! :thumb:

vxr are quick, full decat and remap will see the astra off next time
